Abstract
Abstract
Background
The average birth weight in Japan has decreased by 200 g in the last 40 years. Only three studies were reported for the association between maternal dietary patterns and birth weight in East Asia, whose results were inconsistent. We examined what maternal dietary patterns were associated with the birth weight in Japan.
Methods
Totally 22,493 pregnant women were recruited between July 2013 and September 2016 into the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study. We included 17,287 women who had a full-term single healthy baby into the analysis. Consumption of food and beverage items was evaluated based on food frequency questionnaire at the first-trimester. Dietary patterns were analyzed using a machine learning method of k-means clustering algorithm. Birth weight was obtained from the medical record. The association between dietary patterns and birth weight was analyzed using multiple liner regression model adjusted for potential confounders with multiple imputation method for missing values.
Results
Dietary patterns were classified into seven groups by cluster analysis: “high in rice (reference) (n = 8046)”, “middle in vegetables, beans, mushrooms, seaweeds and miso-soup (n = 4842)”, “high in fruits (n = 1176)”, “high in bread, dairy and alcohol (n = 1091)”, “high in meat and fish (n = 1049)”, “high in coffee, black tea, soft drinks and confections (high in coffee) (n = 585)”, and “high in vegetables, beans, mushrooms, seaweeds and miso-soup (n = 498)” groups. In multiple liner regression models, birth weight was 22.6 g (95%CI: 0.1 to 45.2 g) heavier in “high in fruits” group than in reference group and 39.4 g (95%CI: 8.6 to 70.3 g) lighter in “high in coffee” group than in reference group. The other groups were not statistically significant.
Conclusions
High consumption of fruits and high consumption of coffee, black tea, soft drinks and confections during early pregnancy were associated with increased and decreased birth weight, respectively.
Key messages
We found maternal dietary patterns during early pregnancy using a machine learning method of k-means clustering algorithm. We found maternal dietary patterns which associated with the birth weight in Japan.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
While it is clear that device technology of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has advanced over the course of the last 40 years and the evidence for improvements in the efficacy of PCI is clear, it is less clear whether the prognosis following PCI continues to improve year by year.
Methods
The Kumamoto Intervention Conference Study Real-World Registry is a multi-center registry that enrolls consecutive patients undergoing PCI in 17 centers in Kyushu area, Japan. To elucidate the clinical impact of recent changes in treatment strategies, 8,841 consecutive participants (historical PCI: n=4,038, enrolled between January 2013 and December 2014, and current PCI: n=4,803, between January 2015 and March 2017) with 1-year follow-up data were analysed. Baseline demographic data, cardiovascular risk factors, and the medication being taken at discharge were documented. The primary endpoint was defined as a major adverse cardiac event (MACE), comprising cardiovascular death or non-fatal MI, including stent thrombosis (ST), occurring within 1 year of PCI.
Results
Regarding the relationships between presenting symptoms and PCI status, ACS, STEMI, NSTEMI, and UAP were similarly common, but the proportion of patients with multi-vessel disease was lower and the proportion with type B2/C lesions was higher in the current PCI group (p=0.004 and p<0.001, respectively). The prevalences of left main trunk lesions and Killip classes III or IV were comparable between the groups, but in-stent restenotic lesions were significantly more frequent in the historical PCI group (p<0.001). In addition to the change in the DAPT regimen, more optimal medical therapy was introduced during this time period, including the use of β-blockers, ACE-Is, and statins.
The incidences of MACE were comparable between historical PCI and current PCI (2.2% vs. 2.1%, p=0.693), even though complex lesions were more frequent during the more recent period. During this period, the use of radial approaches, drug eluting stents, and coronary imaging increased, but the use of intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) or thromboaspiration decreased. The incidences of major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events (MACCE), cardiac death, non-fatal MI, and stent thrombosis were similar between the historical and current periods (Figure). Multivariate analysis for overall patients, after adjustment, showed that multi-vessel disease, type B2/C lesions, ACS, and DES use were significant independent predictors of MACE.
Figure 1. Comparison of Clinical Events
Conclusion
An improvement in the prognosis associated with PCI has not occurred in recent years. However, the lesions being treated are becoming more complex, and the selection of evidence-based approaches, the use of coronary imaging, and the optimal medication treatments may have contributed to comparable outcomes being maintained.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of ischemic stroke. It remains unknown whether left atrial diameter determined by routine trans-thoracic echocardiography is a risk factor for ischemic stroke in non-valvular AF (NVAF) patients.
Purpose
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of left atrial enlargement (LAE) on the incidence of ischemic stroke in a large-scale cohort of Japanese NVAF patients.
Methods
We combined the data of 5 major AF registries in Japan, J-RHYTHM Registry, Fushimi AF Registry, Shinken Database, Keio interhospital Cardiovascular Studies, and Hokuriku AF Registry. After excluding patients without echocardiographic data, 7,672 NVAF patients were analyzed in the present study (mean age, 69.3±12.3 years; mean CHADS2 score, 1.6±1.3). We compared clinical characteristics and the incidence of ischemic stroke between NVAF patients with LAE (left atrial diameter >45 mm; LAE group) and those without (non-LAE group).
Results
The mean left atrial diameter was 43.1±8.6 mm, and the LAE group accounted for 40.0% (n=3,066) of the entire cohort. Compared with non-LAE group (60.0%, n=4,606), the LAE group was older (LAE vs. non-LAE; 70.3±12.0 vs. 68.0±12.5, p<0.01), more often non-paroxysmal type (73.7% vs. 32.1%, p<0.01), had higher CHADS2 (1.86±1.34 vs. 1.46±1.29, p<0.01) and CHA2DS2-VASc (3.02±1.83 vs. 2.53±1.78, p<0.01) scores, and more frequently received oral anticoagulant (72.9% vs. 55.0%, p<0.01).
During the median follow-up period of 774.5 days (interquartile range: 567–1466 days), ischemic stroke occurred in 241 patients (131 vs. 110 patients; 1.52 vs. 0.82 per 100 person-years). In Kaplan Meier analysis, LAE was associated with a higher incidence of ischemic stroke (unadjusted hazard ratio (HR): 1.83, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.42–2.36; log rank p<0.01) (Figure). LAE was independently associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke (adjusted HR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.25–2.11; p<0.01) after adjustment by the components of CHADS2 score and the use of oral anticoagulant, on multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis.
Conclusion
In this large-scale cohort of Japanese patients with AF, LAE was an independent predictor of ischemic stroke, suggesting that this simple echocardiographic parameter could refine thromboembolic risk stratification of NVAF patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who survive an intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) are at high risk of stroke, death, and recurrent haemorrhage. Effectiveness and safety of the nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC) edoxaban in this patient population has not been reported.
Purpose
This snapshot analysis from the global ETNA-AF program compared 1-year outcomes in AF patients with and without history of ICH treated with edoxaban from Europe, Japan, and Korea/Taiwan.
Methods
Global ETNA-AF (EU: NCT02944019, Japan: UMINehz745.116117011, Korea/Taiwan: NCT02951039) is a multinational, multicentre, prospective, noninterventional program of AF patients receiving edoxaban in regular clinical care. Demographics, baseline characteristics, and outcomes at 1-year follow-up were reported for 19416 patients with and without a history of ICH.
Results
Of the 19416 patients, 297 had a history of ICH. At 1-year follow-up, incidences of International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) major bleeding (including ICH) and clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding (CRNMB) were generally low. The rate of ischaemic stroke was higher in patients with a history of ICH than in those without prior ICH.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Several studies have shown favorable results using IVUS-guided PCI. Nevertheless, patient background in which use of IVUS is effective is not well elucidated. Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) or chronic kidney disease (CKD) tend to have complex coronary artery lesions. We sought to assess the impact of IVUS guidance on clinical outcomes in these patients.
Methods
Kumamoto Intervention Conference Study is a multicenter registry which has enrolled consecutive patients who underwent PCI in 16 centers in Japan. Between August 2008 and March 2014, 11,195 consecutive patients were enrolled in this registry. To elucidate the efficacy of IVUS usage in DM and CKD patients, 10,822 consecutive subjects with 1-year follow-up data were analyzed. In this patient population, 69.2% (n=7,493) of patients were treated with IVUS-guided PCI. Patients were divided into 4 groups: the No Risk Group, the DM only Group, the CKD only Group, and the DM+CKD Group.
Results
Maximum stent diameter, post dilatation rate, usage of distal protection device, and rotational atherectomy rate were significantly higher in the IVUS-guided PCI patients in all 4 groups. 1-year MACE (cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and MI with stent thrombosis) was significantly lower in the IVUS-guided PCI patients than angiography-guided PCI patients in each subset, except for the No Risk Group. In contrast to angiography-guided PCI patients, there were no significant differences among the 4 groups as regards 1-year MACE in the IVUS-guided PCI patients except for the DM+CKD Group. In multiple regression analysis, IVUS usage was an independent negative predictor for 1-year MACE in the DM only Group (HR=0.374, 95% CI 0.194–0.719, p=0.003) and in the CKD only Group (HR=0.604, 95% CI 0.379–0.962, p=0.010). When the No Risk Group was used as a reference, the HR has increased according to increased risk factors in the angiography-guided PCI patients, but such tendency was not necessarily observed in the IVUS-guided PCI patients (Table).
Risk Stratification of DM and CKD Variable IVUS-Guided PCI Angiography-Guided PCI HR 95% CI P HR 95% CI P The No Risk Group Reference – – Reference – – vs. the DM only Group 0.627 0.321–1.227 0.173 2.036 1.090–3.804 0.026 vs. the CKD only Group 1.334 0.795–2.237 0.275 2.730 1.541–4.836 0.001 vs. the DM+CKD Group 2.114 1.287–3.474 0.014 2.225 1.160–4.266 0.016
Conclusion
The efficacy of IVUS usage as regards 1-year MACE was confirmed in DM and CKD patients, but not observed in patients without them or in the combination of DM and CKD patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Diabetes mellitus has been known as an important factor of coronary artery disease (CAD) progression despite of widespread with lipid-lowering therapy. Although we have reported that large glucose fluctuation is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease in both diabetes mellitus (DM) and non-DM patients, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
Monocytes play a key role for atherosclerotic plaque formation. Monocytes in human peripheral blood are divided into three subsets: CD14++CD16− monocytes, CD14++CD16+ monocytes, and CD14+CD16++ monocytes. The CD14++CD16+ monocyte subset has recently received attention because it is reported to be associated with future cardiovascular events such as acute myocardial infarction. However, their impact on coronary plaque vulnerability in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with or without DM remains unclear.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of CD14++CD16+ monocyte levels on coronary plaque vulnerability and glucose fluctuation in stable CAD patients with well-regulated lipid levels.
Methods
This prospective observational study included 50 consecutive patients with CAD (DM [n=22], Non-DM [n=28]), receiving lipid-lowering therapy and undergoing coronary angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Patients were divided into 3 tertiles according to the CD14++CD16+ monocyte percentages assessed by flow cytometry. Standard OCT parameters including lipid arc, lipid length, fibrous cap thickness (FCT) on lipid rich plaque, were assessed for 97 angiographically intermediate lesions (diameter stenosis: 30–70%). The presence of thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA), defined as a thin fibrous cap (<65μm) overlying a lipid-rich plaque (>90°), was also assessed. Daily glucose fluctuation assessed by using continuous glucose monitoring system was analyzed by measuring the mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE).
Results
CD14++CD16+ monocytes negatively correlated with FCT on lipid rich plaque (r=0.508, p<0.01) (Figure. 1). The presence of thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) was increased stepwise according to the tertile of CD14++CD16+ monocytes (0 [tertile 1] vs. 5 [tertile 2] vs. 10 [tertile 3], p<0.01). CD14++CD16+ monocytes were a significant determinant of TCFA (OR 1.279, p=0.001). Although CD14++CD16+ monocytes were not significantly correlated with MAGE in DM patients (r=0.259, p=0.244), a significant relationship was found between CD14++CD16+ monocytes and MAGE in non-DM patients (r=0.477, p=0.018) (Figure 2).
Conclusions
CD14++CD16+ monocytes were associated with coronary plaque vulnerability in CAD patients with well-regulated lipid levels both in DM and non-DM patients. Cross-talk between glucose fluctuation and CD14++CD16+ monocytes may enhance plaque vulnerability, particularly in non-DM patients. CD14++CD16+ monocytes could be a possible therapeutic target for coronary plaque stabilization.

Abstract
Introduction
Under the awareness of appropriate use criteria, the significance of PCI for the patients with silent myocardial ischemia (SMI) decreases. On the other hand, the prognoses of SMI patients have been reported to be equivalent to those of symptomatic effort angina pectoris (EAP) patients. We aimed to clarify the prognosis of SMI after PCI and elucidate the factors influencing the mortality.
Methods
The Kumamoto Intervention Conference Study is multicenter registry enrolling consecutive patients undergoing PCI in 16 centers in Japan. Overall, 17,688 consecutive patients were enrolled during April 2008 to March 2017. To compare the clinical events between SMI and EAP, 8,278 subjects, excluding acute coronary syndrome, post successful PCI were enrolled with 1-year follow-up data.
Results
In this study, 2,071 patients were classified as SMI and 6,207 patients were EAP. Male, lower body mass index (BMI), diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), smoking habits, prior myocardial infarction (MI), composite of cerebrovascular disease and composite of peripheral arterial disease were all significantly higher in the SMI group. Although nonfatal MI and stent thrombosisduring 12-monthswere comparable between the 2 groups, all-cause mortality and cardiac death during 12-months were significantly higher in the SMI group than in the EAP group (3.9% vs 1.8%, p<0.001, 1.4% vs 0.5%, p<0.001, respectively). On the other hand, Repeat Revascularization rate during 12-months was significantly lower in the SMI group than in the EAP group (15.7% vs 19.5%, p<0.001).Kaplan-Meier analysis for cardiac death showed a significant difference between the 2 groups (Figure). In a multiple logistic regression analysis, in addition to lower BMI and CKD, SMI was an independent predictor for cardiac death. Even after adjustment by propensity-score matching with predictive factors for cardiac event, SMI showed a higher cardiac death rate compared with EAP (1.4% vs 0.5%, p=0.004), and it remained as a significant predictor.
Conclusion
In this study, SMI itself was associated with higher mortality after PCI. Strict follow-up and assessment of residual ischemia should be necessary for SMI patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
Vascular inflammation via T-cell-mediated immune responses has been shown to be critically involved in the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). T-cell coinhibitory molecule cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is known to act as a potent negative regulator of immune responses. However, the role of this molecule in the development of AAA remains completely unknown. In the present study, we determined the effects of CTLA-4 overexpression on experimental AAA.
Methods and results
We continuously infused 12-week-old CTLA-4 transgenic (CTLA-4-Tg)/apolipoprotein E–deficient (Apoe−/−) mice (n=35) or control Apoe−/− mice (n=40) fed a high-cholesterol diet with angiotensin II by implanting osmotic mini-pumps and evaluated the development of AAA. Ninety percent of angiotensin II-infused mice developed AAA, with 50% mortality because of aneurysm rupture. Overexpression of CTLA-4 significantly reduced the incidence (66%), mortality (26%), and diameter (18%) of AAA (incidence: P=0.0104; mortality: P=0.031; diameter: P=0.011). These protective effects were associated with a decreased number of effector CD4+ T cells and the downregulated expression of costimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86, ligands for CTLA-4, on CD11c+ dendritic cells in lymphoid tissues. In addition, by performing in situ zymography of the abdominal aortic aneurysm lesions, we observed a trend toward a decrease in MMP activity in the aneurysmal lesion following overexpression of CTLA-4. Finally, CTLA-4-Tg/Apoe−/− mice had reduced macrophage and CD4+ T cell accumulation and MMP activity in the aneurysmal lesion, leading to attenuated aortic inflammation, preserved vessel integrity, and decreased susceptibility to AAA and aortic rupture.
Conclusion
Our findings suggest that CTLA-4 protects against AAA by suppressing immunoinflammatory responses and could be an attractive therapeutic target for AAA.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has been widely used in clinical settings. Although favorable results of imaging-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared with angio-guided PCI were observed in several studies, impacts of institutional-based usage frequency, about imaging-guided PCI, have not been well elucidated.
Methods
To elucidate the impact of imaging-guided PCI and the effects of frequency of its usage, we analyzed data of the Japanese registry of acute Myocardial INfarction diagnosed by Universal dEfiniTion (J-MINUET). This was a prospective and multicenter registry consisting of 3,283 AMI patients, who were hospitalized within 48 hours of onset from July 2012 to March 2014. Clinical follow-up data was obtained for 3 years. In this sub-study, a total of 2,788 patients who underwent urgent PCI having detailed procedural information were enrolled. We analyzed the differences of utilization rates of imaging-guided PCI among the participating institutions and the impacts for the clinical events. The participating institutions were divided into 3 groups by the frequency of IVUS usage: low frequency institutions: under 50%; moderate frequency institutions: 50% to 90%; and, high frequency institutions: over 90%.
Results
In this cohort registry, patients were enrolled from 28 institutions. The utilization rate of coronary imaging varied widely depending on each institution from 15.4% to 100% (mean 85.7%±24.3, median 97.4%). When the institutions were divided into 3 groups by the frequency of intravascular imaging usage, four low frequency institutions enrolled 295 patients, five moderate frequency institutions enrolled 624 patients, and 19 high frequency institutions enrolled 1,491 patients. Although the incidence of MACE (death, MI, stroke, cardiac failure, or revascularization for unstable angina) decreased stepwise (33.2%, 23.7%, and 19.7%) (gray bar in the Figure), the event rates of the imaging-guided PCI cases among the 3 groups were comparable (21.6%, 21.9%, and 19.6%) (white bar in the Figure). On the other hand, a gradual event reduction between the 3 groups was observed in the angio-guided PCI cases (black bar in the Figure). In comparison of MACE rate between imaging-guided and angio-guided PCI, there were statistically significant differences in the low frequency and moderate frequency institutions (p=0.001 and p=0.012, respectively). In contrast, comparable event rates were observed in the high frequency institutions (p=0.441).
MACE rate by imaging usage frequency
Conclusions
In Japanese ACS patients treated with imaging-guided PCI, better suppression of clinical events during 3-year was found in the institutions with the more frequent use of intravascular imaging, mainly due to stepwise event suppression in the cases of angio-guided PCI. On the other hand, the clinical benefit of coronary imaging was obtained independently of the frequency of use and its experience.

Abstract
Exosomes are potent players in the development of metastases and they play an important role in cancer angiogenesis and exacerbation. However, it is unclear how proteins on exosomes affect development of blood vessel networks. In this study, we focused on relationships between membrane proteins on exosomes and angiogenesis using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Lung tumor cell-derived exosomes induced tube formation and growth of endothelial cells in vitro in a dose-dependent manner involving MAPK activation, but this was not seen in normal lung epithelial cells. Ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EphA2) was identified by proteomic analysis and an inhibition assays showed it is a major MAPK activator on exosomes. Thus EphA2 on exosomes participates in angiogenesis as a ligand of the ephrin signaling pathway. These results support the development of novel therapeutic strategies such as blockade of remote cancer communications through exosomes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Modelling the risk of thrombosis, major bleeding and total mortality are often limited by the inadequate number of independent predictors.
Purpose
We compared the predictive accuracy of the decision-support tool framework and conventional risk score in AF patients.
Methods
We used data of AF patients enrolled into the nationwide AF registry. A random forest model was implemented to predict each outcome, and its predictive power was tested by a 5-fold cross-validation.
Results
We analyzed 7,937 patients with AF (age 70±10 years, female 31%). The type of AF was paroxysmal (37%), persistent (14%), and permanent (49%). The number of antithrombotic treatments were follows: warfarin only (n=5461), antiplatelet only (n=581), both warfarin and antiplatelet (n=1471) and no antithrombotic agents (424). The mean CHA2DS2-VASc score was 2.8±1.6 and HAS-BLED score was 2.7±1.2, respectively. We selected 20 from 50 clinical parameters and compared by the area-under-curve with the CHA2DS2-VASc score for thromboses and the HAS-BLED score for major bleeding. During the 2-year follow-up, 126 patients (1.6%) had thromboses, 140 (1.8%) had major bleeding, and 195 (2.5%) died. A random forest model had a higher value of the area-under-curve for predicting thromboses compared with the CHA2DS2-VASc (0.66 vs. 0.61, P<0.05), and had a significantly higher area-under-curve for major bleeding compared with the HAS-BLED (0.67 vs. 0.61, P<0.05). The area-under-curve for the all-cause mortality was 0.77.
Conclusions
A random forest model has a higher accuracy than conventional risk scheme in predicting thromboses and major bleeding, in addition to total mortality.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Oral mucositis is a clinically significant complication of mucotoxic cancer therapy. The incidence of oral mucositis (any grade) as an adverse drug reaction of everolimus is 58%, while an analysis of Asian people has reported its occurrence as 81%.This study hypothesizes that the occurrence of oral mucositis will reduce with professional oral care (POC) administered prior to everolimus treatment.
Method:
This was a randomized, multi-center, open-label, phase III study, to evaluate the efficacy of POC in preventing mucositis induced by everolimus in postmenopausal, estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, metastatic breast cancer patients. Patients were randomized into POC and control groups (1:1 ratio). All patients received everolimus with exemestane and continued the everolimus until disease progression. In the POC group, patients were subjected to teeth surface cleaning, scaling and tongue cleaning, before initiating everolimus, and continued to receive weekly POC from dentist or oral surgeons throughout the 8 weeks of treatment. In the control group, patients brushed their own teeth and gargled with 0.9% sodium chloride solution or water. The primary end-point was to measure the incidence of all grades of oral mucositis. Target accrual was 200 patients with a 2-sided type I error rate of 5% and 80% power to detect 25% risk reduction. This trial has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT 02069093.
Result:
Between May 26, 2014 and Dec 28, 2017, we enrolled 174 women from 31 institutions; 168 were evaluable for efficacy but 5 were excluded (had not received the protocol treatment [n=4]; no efficacy data [n=1]). In 8 weeks, the incidence of grade 1 oral mucositis was significantly different between the POC group (76.5%, 62 of 81 patients) and control group (89.7%, 78 of 87 patients) (p=0.035). The incidence of grade 2 (severe) oral mucositis was also significantly different between the POC group (34.6%, 28 of 81 patients) and control group (54%, 47 of 87 patients) (p= 0.015). As a result of oral mucositis, 18 (22.2%) patients in the POC group and 28 (32.2%) in the control group had to undergo everolimus dose reduction.
Conclusion:
POC reduced the incidence and severity of oral mucositis in patients receiving everolimus and exemestane. This could be a new standard in oral care for patients undergoing this treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a frequent side-effect of taxanes which play a central role in the treatment of breast cancer. CIPN can negatively influence long-term quality of life, warranting the development of effective prevention strategies. This study investigates the efficacy of frozen gloves and socks (FGS) in reducing the incidence and severity of nab-paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy. Endpoints were evaluated using both clinician and patient reports.
Methods: This is a multicenter phase II single arm trial study of the effects of FGS for advanced or metastatic breast cancer patients receiving nab-paclitaxel (260 mg/m2) every 3 weeks. Patients wore FGS on their diseased side hand and foot for 60 min during infusion. The other side acted as the untreated control. CIPN was assessed using Patient Neurotoxicity Questionnaire (PNQ), PRO-CTCAE and CTCAE at baseline and every cycle of nab-paclitaxel. The primary endpoint was the incidence of CIPN assessed by PNQ (grade C or higher) after receipt of up to 4 cycles of nab-paclitaxel.
Results: Between September 2012 and January 2015, 50 patients from 16 sites were enrolled in this study. Of 50 patients, 27 (54%) received at least 4 cycles of nab-paclitaxel. There was a trend for the incidence of CIPN assessed by PNQ and PRO-CTCAE to be lower in the intervention side than in the control side, although this difference was not statistically significant. The incidence of CIPN assessed by CTCAE was significantly lower in the treated hand (Table).
Conclusions: Among breast cancer patients who received nab-paclitaxel, FGS produced favorable effects as detected by reduced clinician-reported CTCAE grades for CIPN, although the study did not detect differences in self-reported symptoms of CIPN using PRO-CTCAE or PNQ. Clinical trial information: UMIN000007907.
